Chapter 25 "How about it?"
When Ji Song put down Li Xiuning's wrist, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning suddenly became nervous when they saw Ji Song's silent expression, and asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing. Everything is developing in a good direction. According to the current situation, it will be basically recovered in another half a year." Ji Song smiled and reassured everyone.
"real!"
"There is still half a year!"
Li Shimin was surprised, but Li Xiuning was wailing! There is still half a year left, and for the restless Li Xiuning, every day is like a year.
"Your Highness actually doesn't have to be so strict with the princess. Proper walking is very good for the princess's mood, and can also speed up the improvement of her condition." Ji Song saw Li Xiuning's expression and knew that lying in bed all day long would be bad for her. Saying that life was worse than death, Ji Song felt a little soft-hearted and said to Li Shimin.
"Great, second brother, since Brother Song said this, I can go out for a walk now!"
Li Xiuning was overjoyed when she heard Ji Song's words and looked at Li Shimin eagerly.
"Hey! You really can go out if you want, but there's only one hour a day, and there's a timeout, so don't even think about going out until you recover. How about that?"
Li Shimin also felt sorry for his sister and didn't want her to be wronged, but for the sake of her health, he could only compromise and make a gentleman's agreement.
"Ah! It's only an hour. Can it be a little longer?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her little finger, wanting to bargain with her second brother.
"Half an hour!" Li Shimin said expressionlessly, completely unmoved, and even cut the time in half.
"Hum! Xiaoqing, let's go!" Li Xiuning couldn't steal the chicken but lost the rice. She didn't dare to bargain any more and called Xiaoqing with a cold snort to turn around and go out.
"Oh! Princess, please slow down and wait for Xiao Qing!" Xiao Qing quickly followed.
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly and said, "Make Brother Song laugh!"
"The princess is very active by nature. If she is locked in the room all the time, I'm afraid she won't be able to stop her. However, His Highness's method is just right. He not only allows the princess to go out, but also stipulates a time so that it will not affect her condition. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!" Ji Song said with a smile.
"I saw that you looked wrong just now. I wonder about Third Sister's body?" Li Shimin asked Ji Song in a low voice when he saw that Li Xiuning was far away.
Ji Song smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he simply said: "The princess's body has recovered very well, but as the boy said before, the sequelae have appeared."
"What sequelae?"
"Infertility!"
"Huh! It's okay, it's okay!" Li Shimin thought it was some kind of sequelae, but it turned out that he couldn't have children.
"Are you okay?" Ji Song said in disbelief.
Li Shimin also realized that his tone just now was a little inappropriate, and he laughed out loud. He was afraid that Ji Song would think too much and explained: "Sanmei already has two children, both boys, so the sequelae you mentioned are not counted at all." What?" "That's it! It's really nothing, but I still suggest that the princess not know about it." Ji Song also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Giving birth is the greatest honor given to a woman by God. If the princess knew that she had lost her fertility, she would definitely have a mental disorder and outsiders would gossip about her. Therefore, only we know about this matter, and there is no need to spread it to others." Ji Seeing Li Shimin's confused look, Song explained.
"Well, what you said makes sense, so just do as you say!" Li Shimin didn't want this matter to become known to everyone. After all, it would damage Pingyang's reputation.
Li Shimin looked at the young boy in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment. When the prince came last time, he offered Ji Song a reward, but this boy refused because he had not done his full work. He didn't know what he was thinking. , He was not tempted by things that others could not even think of.
"Last time the prince brought a reward from his father, you refused because the third sister was not healed. This time, seeing how alive and kicking she is, I don't think you have any reason to refuse?" Li Shimin said to Ji Song with some gloating.
When Ji Song heard this, he also smiled bitterly. It wasn't that Ji Song didn't want to accept the emperor's reward, but he didn't dare to accept it!A man from the fifth rank of Kaiguo County, with [-] households in the city and [-] households under real seal.
This is a direct knighthood!There is also a military officer who has the rank of Lieutenant Guo from the seventh rank. As for the reason, his father has a deputy lieutenant who is from the eighth rank to the imperial guard.
When he came of age, he was supposed to be demoted one level to inherit his father's position, which was the rank of Renyong Colonel of the ninth rank. Don't underestimate him as a minor official of the ninth rank. This was already the difference between an official and a civilian.
Apart from anything else, if others join the army and don't have a position, they can only start as a soldier. But with this ninth-grade Lord Renyong Colonel, he will at least be a fire leader.
Therefore, even though Ji Song is not yet an adult, he has the rank of military attache at the ninth rank.
Therefore, the emperor promoted his military position to a full eight levels. This was in the hope that Ji Song would continue to work for him when he grew up!
At that time, Li Xiuning's condition had just improved, but no one could guarantee that she would recover.
If he receives the reward and Li Xiuning does anything good, Ji Song believes that Li Yuan will definitely kill him to pay for his daughter's life. He will definitely do this.
"Since the princess's injuries are no longer serious, Your Majesty's grace, how dare you resist and be disrespectful," Ji Song said hesitantly.
"But what? Just say it's okay. If you think the reward is too small, I will ask my father to give you another imperial edict."
Li Shimin was a little curious. Could it be that he thought the official title was too small? "No, no, His Majesty's reward is already a generous gift. How dare I be greedy? Forget it, I will just thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Ji Song quickly explained that in the feudal period, if the emperor rewarded you, you would accept it. If you didn't accept it, you would be resisting the order. How dare you think that the official is junior?What's going on?How about making you a prime minister? Therefore, Ji Song could only choose to accept it. The more he explained this kind of thing, the less clear it became.
"That's right, you saved Sanmei's life. This is an indisputable fact. Sanmei is the eldest princess of the current dynasty, and she is also the commander-in-chief of our Women's Army of the Tang Dynasty. I would say that this reward is indeed a bit small, at least It only makes sense to have a count, so someone in the court must be causing trouble." Li Shimin said angrily.
"Your Majesty, you have spoiled me. The baron is already my obsession. I am only 12 years old this year, and I am already a baron. This is great. If I were in high school, it would be a curse rather than a blessing for me."
Although Ji Song was envious of the earl, he knew that it was impossible. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was gradually stabilizing, and Li Yuan had begun to control the awards of titles. It was a blessing to get the title of baron this time. Others Don't dare to ask for anything.
Li Shimin looked at the calm Ji Song, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked him. He sized up the situation, was content with what he had, and knew where his limits were. It would be great if he could be used for himself, but considering that he was only 12 years old this year, he gave up. It was too much. He's still young and still needs a few more years of practice.
But thinking about his situation at this time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was now in a difficult situation, so what ability did he have to plan for Brother Song? It seemed that he couldn't get too close to Brother Song, so as not to implicate him.
